This question asks to find the half reactions and combine them for:
Cl2 --> HClO + Cl2
I don't understand how Cl2 is on both sides of this reaction, and how the chlorine ion can be both the oxidizing and reducing agent.

That's a typo. The correction is noted on the solution manual but this is the intended rxn: Cl2(g) → ClOH(aq) + Cl-(aq)
